Male or female
First, decide whether a male or female suits you best. Females tend to be smaller than males, to wander less, and to be less dominant.

Temperament
Next, decide if a quiet puppy, a submissive one, or a dominant one is more to your liking. Even though temperament, size, and level of activity is constant within a breed, there is plenty of room for individual differences.

Check out the puppies
Sit or kneel on the ground and call the puppy to you. Snap fingers, pat the ground, get the puppy's attention. If he comes quickly, he may have a strong attachment to people. If he stops to smell the flowers along the way, he may have an independent streak. If he doesn't come at all, he may have difficulty forming a bond with people. Of course, one such test means nothing. Try to visit the litter a couple of times before making a decision. Or depend on the breeder to tell you which puppies seem to have which behavior characteristics. Or both.
